In both of those cases, we were in first place all week long until the last day. It was heartbreaking the first time it happened, but we prepared for the second time and won.

I share that because with fire in first place, they aren't stockpiling everything. You have a week to turn things around. Don't despair. Train and exalt, train and exalt. If you purchase dragons with a bonus for 10K or under and train to level 10, you'll recoup your cost plus some. ;-)
